Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Longing → Endurance
Dream 5846 — July 6, 2025
During a night dream in the early morning hours of July 6, 2025, a lyric surfaced with clarity and emotional steadiness. There was no surrounding imagery or narrative—only the fragment itself, received as a statement of longing rather than loss.
As with other lyric-based night encounters, the Spirit emphasized a fragment rather than the full song. Interpretation followed waking discernment.
"I have been around the world looking for the one I love."
— Southern Cross (Lyrics © Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby — brief excerpt used under fair use for commentary)
The Spirit framed the lyric as a shared search rather than a solitary ache.
The longing expressed was not romantic, but covenantal. It mirrored both God's pursuit of wholehearted devotion and my own return toward enduring love. The search was not frantic—it was faithful.
The encounter clarified that endurance is not the absence of struggle, but the decision to keep seeking without abandoning hope. Love that endures does not fade with distance or delay.
This was not a reminder of what was missing, but of what persists.
"The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him."
— 2 Chronicles 16:9
Scripture anchors the encounter: the search for love is mutual and sustained by God Himself.
Remain faithful in seeking without demanding immediacy. Allow longing to deepen commitment rather than erode confidence. Trust that enduring love is already at work, even when the journey continues.
